  My 5th anniversary today... No More Meetings

  by xjwms in

  2. friends

  this is my official day... five years ago ... when i decided to no longer attend regular meetings.. so, .. my wife comes home from the meeting yesterday and says..."elder.______ says to say hi to you" ... as we were talking after the meeting.. (this is the guy who was at my house telling me i should go to another hall, as i was no longer welcome there.).

  i wish i would have thought to say...you should have told him that : ... i was celebrating five years of not attending.!.

  but i did'nt think of it till later last night.

  You have to remember you will be shouting her when you take her out so a naff name would make you look nuts, you might like that of course

  How about Collix, you said it was a Collie Mix

  Kiera, Tanya, Betty, Senga, Izzy, Rosie, Skye

  Just a few to be getting on with

  I enjoyed the tours especially the big doors from Assyria I think

  Unlike Crumpet I was unable to get a damsel into a nook let alone a cranny oh the very idea!!

  We did the whole Bethel thing when we went down as well
